If I get a (wishlist) bug on a package I maintain, I read this as 'I think the package would get better if you'd do this' - which implies that the way the maintainer does things right now is not as good as it could be. Which, when it comes to things like packaging tools (and, fwiw, build systems and some other things), is often very much a question of personal preference. cheers -- vbi -- Shift to the left!
